  1. Western University MSN-E Application Time!

    Maseca replied to Maseca's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Well, it's been one week since the application period closed. How in the world are we going to be able to wait another month or two to hear

  2. Moving to CA in next year...questions

    Maseca replied to laughterishelpful's topic in California Nursing

    I grew up in Riverside and San Diego, so I know a little about them. The greater Riverside area is much less expensive to live in than San Diego, but also has generally worse schools and more crime...

  3. Western University MSN-E Application Time!

    Maseca replied to Maseca's topic in Post Graduate Students

    There were a couple of people who posted here on Allnurses last year and the year before who were offered early acceptance. At the program information session I attended back in April, the program...

  4. Western University MSN-E Application Time!

    Maseca replied to Maseca's topic in Post Graduate Students

    No, early acceptance is where they offer you an admission without an interview. Those selected for early acceptance are notified about the same time everyone else is notified of interview

  5. Western University MSN-E Application Time!

    Maseca replied to Maseca's topic in Post Graduate Students

    FWIW - I've spoken to several people at the admission's office and each one has told me that the only GPA they look at is the last 60 units. They've said they don't consider science GPA separately at...

    Maseca replied to Maseca's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The 1st can't get here soon enough! The suspense is killing

    Thanks! Hopefully I'll be accepted to the program and won't have to leave the

  8. Western University MSN-E Application Time!

    Maseca replied to Maseca's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Well, as of today, it's exactly one month until the new application deadline! I wonder how the extended application period will effect the timeline for notification of interview

  9. advice for someone whose GPA is less than desirable?

    Maseca replied to laruhpea's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I can't recommend any school in your area, but I know that the program I'm applying for (an MSN-Entry) looks strictly at your last 60 units for GPA purposes. The school is in Southern California. If...

  10. Western University MSN-E Application Time!

    Maseca replied to Maseca's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I wouldn't worry too much. I submitted both my NursingCAS and secondary app on 8/15, the FIRST day of the application period. My status was just marked "Application Materials Received" last

  11. Western University MSN-E Application Time!

    Maseca replied to Maseca's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Just received an email from the Admissions office stating that my file was ready for review, and that I would get a phone call or letter regarding my status. It sounds like they're starting to read...

  12. Western University MSN-E Application Time!

    Maseca replied to Maseca's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Same here. NursingCAS shows my app with them as "Complete" as of 9/15, yet Western still doesn't show it as logged into their system. I have an email in to Michelle to inquire about

  13. Western University MSN-E Application Time!

    Maseca replied to Maseca's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm with you on Western being a first choice. In fact it's my ONLY choice and the only school I applied to. I absolutely don't mind sharing my profile, because hearing others' in past threads has...

  14. Western University MSN-E Application Time!

    Maseca replied to Maseca's topic in Post Graduate Students

    They extended the deadline last year due to problems with NursingCAS. I'm rather bummed out to hear the deadline was extended that far out because that means it will be even longer before we hear...

  15. Western University MSN-E Application Time!

    Maseca replied to Maseca's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Because of a transcript delay (I had to send transcripts from one school several times before it was actually marked as received), NursingCAS hasn't completed my application, so my banapps application...

  16. Western University MSN-E Application Time!

    Maseca replied to Maseca's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I just spoke to Elaine earlier today (about a different topic) and confirmed that Western's deadline is having the application submitted by October 3rd, not when NursingCAS processes

  17. How to pay for FNP program and support family?

    Maseca replied to bophus's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Did the school lower your federal loan package amount, or your "cost of attendance"? If they just lowered your federal loan package, there are lots of options for you: GradPlus loans, private loans,...

  18. Western University MSN-E Application Time!

    Maseca replied to Maseca's topic in Post Graduate Students

    NursingCAS lost the transcript for one of my schools TWICE! It's finally been marked as received though, so that was a huge relief. I've been on edge about that because Western is the only program...

  19. Western University MSN-E Application Time!

    Maseca replied to Maseca's topic in Post Graduate Students

    That's what I did, each school had multiple sessions which corresponded with the various quarters/semesters that I attended at that school. You're right, it's confusing! I submitted my application...

  20. Western University MSN-E Application Time!

    Maseca replied to Maseca's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Here's the response I got from NursingCAS regarding the change of designations I mentioned above. Makes sense, but they really don't make this clear in their initial

  21. Western University MSN-E Application Time!

    Maseca replied to Maseca's topic in Post Graduate Students

    When I talked with my admission counselor, she said that they generally wanted the statements to be about two pages long. The NursingCAS statement is only about 500

  22. Western University MSN-E Application Time!

    Maseca replied to Maseca's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Yes, I submitted my app the day it was available. I'm uber neurotic like that. Have any of you gotten the email from NursingCAS about answering the question about graduate school? When I submitted...

  23. Western University MSN-E Application Time!

    Maseca replied to Maseca's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I agree. I have 6 colleges to list, and so far all but two are listed as "Transcripts Received". I'm giving it another week, and if it's still not received, I'll either reorder them, or see if I can...

  24. Western University MSN-E Application Time!

    Maseca replied to Maseca's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Actually, if you read the details for the Western secondary application, it specifies that a resume or CV is

  25. Anyone had to fill out Nursing CAS when doing Apps?

    Maseca replied to ChristineN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I would of course check with the school you're applying to, but I know with the program I'm interested in, they do their own GPA calculations and don't really go off of the NursingCAS GPA. I wouldn't...
